Former Glory

The battle on the island is not over yet.

As Sequence 1 Angel, the strength of "Abomination" Suah is beyond question. However, the enemies he faces are not ordinary Sequence 3 Demigod, but two sea kings with profound backgrounds: "King of the Five Seas" Nast Solomon, a descendant of the Fourth Epoch Great Empire, who has roamed the seas for decades and has rich combat experience and collections;

Bernadette Gustav, the "Queen Mystic," daughter of Roselle and former princess of Intis, has collected countless Sealed Artifact created by her father into her Treasury.

Although the two of them combined could not truly harm an Angel, they could withstand the opponent's attacks for a period of time.

"Gulp..."

The entire Black Lake was boiling, and countless enormous, black, viscous arms were embedded in the earth, blurring the boundary between the Spirit World and reality, spreading a terrifying Corrosion. On the main body of Suah, on its thick "tree trunk," countless blood-red eyes were fixed on the two ships, flashing with Curse and madness.

Neither of the two champions showed any weakness.

Nast sat atop a weathered stone chair on the deck of the "The Black Emperor," wearing a spire-like crown, his body now enormous, like that of Giant. The entire ship was enveloped in his Order and will; when the attacks of the "Abomination" roared in, they were forcibly Distortion by his power, greatly diminishing their effectiveness.

Bernadette stood at the bow of the "Dawn," her chestnut hair flowing in the wind, surrounded by countless fairytale-like and dreamlike things. Mermaid girl sang in the void, creating dazzling and illusory bubbles that blocked the huge, black arm; toy soldiers in military uniforms stood in neat rows, their Firearm roaring; and she herself became even more ethereal and unpredictable, the Curse of Suah falling completely into the void.

"Your Highness, are you referring to the Blood Bishop and the Angel who brought him here as the help you speak of?"

Nast, the "King of the Five Seas," witnessed the final fate of Agalito and the "Death Announcer" from afar. His dark eyes revealed no emotion, and he offered no comment. When he finally spoke, he inquired about Alexander Gascoigne.

Since Nast's father had been knighted by Roselle, it was only natural for him to call Bernadette "princess."

"That's right."

"The Queen Mystic," Bernadette replied, her azure eyes gazing at the distant three-masted black sailing ship, her expression a complex mix of nostalgia, sorrow, and joy... as if recalling Great Old One days and the emotions of that time. "According to my Prophecy, he will bring us a turning point..."

"!!"

As if to confirm the words of the "Queen Mystic" Bernadette, suddenly, all the mouths on the hundred arms of the "Abomination" emitted indescribable Shriek at the same time. The attack, which directly shocked the Spirit Body, was aimed at one place: Luther on the near sea!

"Boom!"

Antiya quickly stepped forward, opened her palms, and blocked the terrifying blow. The surging air blew her long, black hair wildly.

Are you sure you want to make enemies with that guy?

Miss Angel turned to look at Luther, her expression somewhat worried, "I must make this clear to you, the difference between Sequence 2 and Sequence 1 is much greater than you imagine..."

She feared that she would soon be alone again after just gaining ownership of the ship.

"No, it won't."

Luther replied.

The opposing "Abomination" Suah is a Sequence 1 Angel. He has revealed all his trump cards, and only two can cause him substantial damage: first, the Phantom Tide within his body; second, the powerful item given to him by the Queen Mystic.

The use of the Phantom Tide is somewhat demanding. Either the other party's spirit needs to invade one's body, or one must transform into the Blood River, allowing the Tide to spread throughout one's entire body. In this way, the object swallowed by one's own Blood Sea will suffer an extreme impact.

However, "Abomination" Suah has already suffered a loss once, and shouldn't be foolish enough to invade his mind again. Moreover, the Blood River he transformed into could hardly contain a Filth body of Sequence 1. In other words, he actually only had one method left.

He Consciousness stroked the mysterious Staff Head.

A gift from the Queen, it is said to allow the user to borrow power from their past self... Although it is a very precious one-time use item, I have already figured out the general idea. I can use the Ritual to recreate the most crucial step of the Ritual, which is to pray to Mr. [The Fool], the representative of the "Pupil-less Eye" and the "Contorted Lines," to borrow power.

Thinking about this, Luther suddenly understood something.

The fact that I could borrow power from Mr. Fool proves that I have a special relationship with him. Once the Queen Mystic sees me use this item a second time, she will be certain that I know Mr. Fool...

However, since she had already guessed it, this was at most just a side confirmation.

Luther thought to himself, then glanced down at the mysterious Staff Head in his hand. He could feel the Red Angel Evil Spirit within him waiting in the shadows. Medici, too, craved power and longed to relive his former glory.

Heh... When this usually noisy guy suddenly falls silent, it means he cares a lot.

"Antiya, use your power to help me."

Luther said, and with a little force, he crushed the Staff Head.

"Call!"

The Staff Head shattered, and a thick, Spirituality imbued gray Fog immediately poured out.

Really...

When Luther saw the gray Fog, he was somewhat surprised but also felt it made sense. The pattern of the Fog was exactly the same as what he had seen at the Tarot Club meeting place.

This truly is the power of Mr. Fool!

After the Fog spread out, it floated in mid-air, its surface shimmering with mysterious symbols. Luther extended his Spirituality over it, immediately establishing a connection with the Gray Fog and learning how to use it afterward.

He couldn't describe the feeling, so he acted immediately, manipulating the Fog and throwing it into his chest—the dwelling place of the three evil spirits of the Red Angel!

The next moment.

"Boom!"

Luther felt as if the Spirituality within him had collapsed like a dam, bursting forth and surging into the evil spirit's Spirit Body through the connection of the symbols. To outsiders, the robes of the Blood Bishop Alexander Gascoigne suddenly changed, from their original bright red to a rusty deep red.

Moreover, his Spirituality concentration was rapidly increasing, and a heavy and terrifying pressure spread out, his majesty almost tangible!

"Abomination" Suah immediately sensed danger. All the mouths on his body opened simultaneously.

These mouths opened and closed incessantly, uttering overlapping sounds with different rhythms, tones, and intonations, all proclaiming the same name. "The Mother Tree of Desire!"
